4000€, for a tiny room..

[Laurent MEYER]

In a small room the 403.2

Thank You

 

[Al ears]

Thank You

My opinion only as I haven't actually heard either of them, the bigger 404's may be overkill and a big price difference

Thanks for the correction AI, I thought 404 was the newer model, not the bigger sibling 🙂

Perhaps some of the best speakers for a really small room would be second-hand Neat Iotas......

Not being flippant (those who kinda know online me will realise it's not in my nature) but are you buying the entire system blind/deaf without actually demoing anything.

A demo to actually hear things is rule number one in the deciding on what hifi is right.
Not unlike a new car it's the test drive of the hifi world, the trying on of a shoe.

With a healthy budget the results can be exponential joy or a disappointing flustraightion.

It's a potential mistake made very apt by it happening to member only recently here and to me once or twice despite the old convincing of myself I liked them to try and avoid both
mistake and disappointment

You started right by compiling a shortlist list with help from the right crowd here but I'm not sure with that budget it's wise buying on others people's preferences and written reviews alone. 🤔 maybe I've missed something

I went for a NAD C399/BluOS-Dirac + Elac Vela 403.2 + Elac RS500 wireless. I know, a sub is overkill but I love bass a lot!!
Thank you all for your help and advices !!!

Very nice, enjoy!

why elac why not dynaudio evoke 20 , kef r3 meta or dali rubicon 2 or rubikore 2 ?

elac vela bs403.2 hands down miles better than all you mentioned. evoke 20 is underwhelming overall, overprice to be honest. dali high frequency is terrible and harsh. I tested all especially the rubicore and evoke20. rubicore is just like bad tasting beer. and I enjoy my 25 yrs single malt and burgundy

Sounds like everyone else should just pack up and go home...

I have almost the same amp en setup. so i will add the Elac Vela also to my list for speakers i am going to test. The very compact size is what i want for my setup. (depth Vela is 210mm)
How old is this Vela 403.2 speaker? Seems like a good speaker when i read the reviews.

• Elac Vela BS 403.2 - 2000€ - 2-way 6,00" - 190 x 210 - 150cm cone - 4ohm (warm + deep bass+ naturel sound)
  
  
• M.A. Gold 50 6G - 2000€ - 2-way 6,00" - 185 x 270 - 150cm cone - 4ohm (clear + fast bass + good attack)
  
  
• Spendor A1.2 - 2000€ - 2-way 6,00" - 165 x 185 - 150cm cone - 8ohm (No deep bass + good voices + not to bright)

Look, I haven't trawled through all the posts here. But I don't think anyone here offered much common sense. If you want big bass, get 2 smaller speakers that work well against the wall, or that you can possibly bring out if you have a little space, AND A SUBWOOFER.
